Shiva Corporation was a company that specialized in computer networking and associated equipment, in particular remote access products. The company was founded in 1985, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Shiva was co-founded by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduate Daniel J. Schwinn, the current president and CEO of Avidyne Corporation.
Shiva acquired the British network products company Spider Systems in 1995, which became Shiva Europe Ltd.[1]
Users of 16-bit Internet Explorer on Windows 3 with dial-up connections saw the Shiva name regularly, as the company provided part of the dial-up TCP/IP stack for 16-bit Internet Explorer versions 3, 4 and 5.[2]
Shiva was acquired by Intel in October 1998 [3] during a lengthy class-action lawsuit in which it was alleged that it hid information concerning the deterioration of the company [4] and became part of the Intel Network Products Division.
In November 2002 it was acquired by Simple Access Inc., which adopted the Shiva Corporation identity. A year later, the company was acquired by Mernet Secure Network. Mernet were subsequently acquired by Eicon Networks in February 2004.[5] Since 2006, Eicon are now known as Dialogic Corporation.
